A Guide to Giving Your Girl Jewelry

Say ‘I love you’ or say ‘I’m sorry’—however you choose to set the mood, do it all with jewelry. Give your girl a gift she will treasure forever and steel her heart for just as long. Not feeling savvy with your ability to pick the right piece? Let us step in and take the lead with a few of our top tips.

  • Don’t be a tease. Pre-proposal, don’t gift your girl a little box or you will send her head reeling with what’s to come—so unless you’re planning to get down on one knee, buying her a ring may give her the wrong idea.
  • Silver or gold. Not all women are rule breakers, so if your lady seems like the traditional type, she probably isn’t down with mixing her metals. Buy her a piece of jewelry she can always keep on her when you pay attention to the metallic she wears most.
  • Diamonds aren’t every girl’s best friend. While any woman might swoon over a shiny rock, something more personable will make her heart melt for you. Does she love leopard print? Is her birthstone blue? Find a necklace or earrings that let her know you picked out something especially for her.
  • Size matters, but not the way you think. Statement jewelry, the kind that is loud, large and in-your-face, is fashionable, but unless you know exactly what you’re looking for it’s easy to take a misstep. Stick to small pieces that will feel precious and timeless, just like your love.
  • Not your first jewelry rodeo? If you have already bought her a necklace that she wears every day, give her something for special occasions, like  pearl earrings she can wear with her little black dress or an occasion gown. Already bought it all? Update her favorite pendant necklace with a new chain and an extra charm.

Whether you need to dig yourself out of the dog house or just want to show her how special she is, these tips will help you pick out the right piece of romantic jewelry.

Sure, it’s the thought that counts—but the perfect piece goes a long way.
